After Applying

When you click submit, your application will make its way through several steps before actually being downloaded into our application database. The application engine is a complicated one, but it works. Once it does get to our server, it will go through numerous additional steps after that to be matched with your other application materials.

Once we are at the point where we believe we’ve downloaded every submitted application, we will post that information. It’s only at that point that you should be concerned if you haven’t heard from us.

Now What? 

The time between submitting your application and receiving a decision is a waiting game.

Take a moment to be proud of all the hard work you put into your application and essays. While you wait, be sure to stay focused on your schoolwork and enjoy time with your friends. We wish you the best of luck and hope to see you on campus soon!
